I had about an hour left of 8 hour shift at the hospital and there wasn't much to do. I walked around to different patients and asked how they were feeling or if they needed something like another blanket or pain killers.

"Doctor Cullen, there is a call for you at the front desk; they said it was an emergency." A lady said.

"Thank you, I will be right there." I replied as I finished my conversation with a man recovering from getting his appendix taken out.

"Doctor Cullen speaking." I said through the phone.

"Carlisle it's Jasper, I tried your cell but you didn't pick up. She's recovered, she's thirsty." He explained.

"Explain as much as you can quickly and take her out to hunt. Take Edward and Emmett too, just in case a human is off trail. I've still got an hour here."

"Okay sure thing. She thinks she is in heaven because of the "attractive" guys around her." He laughed.

"Be as nice as you all can, please. Maybe get the girls to go with you, it might provide more comfort for her." I suggested.

"Okay. We will see you after your shift."

"Jasper?" I asked before he hung up. "Thank you."

"No problem."

I put the phone down and turned around to find a nurse standing nearby staring at me. I shot her a smile and she looked like she was in shock. I walked away swiftly to finish my rounds.

I came home later to find a full house of vampires. Edward was first to greet me.

"We got her to hunt. We explained everything and she's a little- We didn't ask her about what happened before you found her, we weren't sure how to."

"That's okay. She understands everything?" I asked.

"Sure does. She's 15 and she is very mature, even more than Rosalie."

"Hey!" Rosalie called from the living room.

"What were you going to say before you started a new sentence? She is a little what?" I asked.

He didn't reply. "Edward…"

"Disappointed… but she hasn't met you or Esme yet. I'm sure you could represent a fine fatherly figure." He tried.

I skipped the disappointed bit and went straight for Esme. "Where is Esme?"

"She went hunting before Melody recovered and she hasn't come back, not even when we took her hunting."

"Okay my first guess is the cliffs edge. She goes there sometimes to remember her…human self… Would you mind getting someone to check there? I need you to stay to read her thoughts." I asked.

"Yeah, I will send Bella."

"Thanks."

We walked into the living room where everyone sat quietly. Melody sat next to Alice, who was probably the most welcoming. When Alice looked at me, she had the biggest smile on her face, and that provided some comfort.

"Melody?" Her neck snapped to look at me and she stood up. I smiled. "I'm Carlisle, and I am so sorry for doing this to you."

She nodded. "Alice said you are the glue to this…coven, along with your wife, and that you are happy for me to stay." She explained. I looked towards Alice.

"I would hardly say "glue", but yes, I am very happy for you to stay if that is what you wish." I tried to keep smiling but it was difficult when I didn't know whether she hated me for what I had done.

"She doesn't hate you." Edward assured.

I looked at him with a blank face for a second before returning my attention to her.

"And yes Melody, we are welcoming you into our family." He answered her thoughts.

She flashed a small grateful smile my way. "I have never really had a family before."

"Well you do now; and we are fully prepared to give you a permanent home." I assured.

Before she could say anything, Bella returned followed by Esme. Esme walked right over to me and stood by my side, taking my hand in the process.

"Esme?" Melody asked.

Esme smiled and nodded. "Welcome to our family." She shrugged her shoulders as she said it before redirecting her gaze to me. I planted a kiss on her lips before everyone's attention turned back to Melody.

"I couldn't possibly invade on your family." She said.

"You're not invading." Esme replied immediately.

Edward chuckled. "She does have a very motherly vibe doesn't she? I'm sure she and Carlisle would be more than happy to take you under their wing." He looked at us and we both nodded with warm smiles.

She was quiet, obviously embarrassed.

"To be honest, whether you want them to or not, they will become like any other parents in a matter of days, they did with all of us. Sometimes it's a little annoying, but mostly it's the best feeling in the world." Rosalie explained.

"It is?" Esme asked, shocked.

Rosalie smile and nodded then moved in closer to Emmett on the couch.

"Definitely." Alice agreed, "But it's not as annoying to me as to others, I never considered my human parents as parents, so Carlisle and Esme were like a gift sent from heaven."

Melody smiled. "I never had parents."
